Keeping Your Computer Safe!!





Why it’s important to regularly back up your salon data!

Cyber-crime is on the increase and with this time of year being the busiest shopping season, it’s also the busiest time of year for malicious attacks. There are several steps you can take before SALONGENIUS steps in to help prevent an attack…

·         Be wary of suspicious social media posts

·         Don’t click on links in emails or social media without confirming that they were sent intentionally, no matter who the sender

·         Don’t download mobile apps outside official mobile stores

·         Use Antivirus and Antimalware software

·         Keep your applications and operating systems up to date

If a malicious attack, fire or theft was to affect your salon would you be prepared for it?

Security of business critical data and business continuity are vital issues for most salons and spa’s. The ability to secure business and client data in the event of a disaster is essential to both the continuity of your business and the protection of your clients interests. Loss of data related to customers and clients can have an adverse and detrimental impact on your business.

Is your data safe should a fire occur? Would your business still run smoothly if your backup was stolen or mislaid? Are you certain that whatever the disaster, you could recover the data quickly and easily?

If the answer to any of the above questions is no, then our backup solution will give you the peace of mind you need.

With our archiveGENIUS solution this is all made simple. archiveGENIUS is a secure, automated backup system that intelligently backs up the critical files to a remote or local storage server, ensuring your business data is safe and securely available from any connected computer should you need it.
